Contributor Tony Nemo Posted January 20, 2016 Contributor Report Share Posted January 20, 2016 Does anyone know if you can run a geforce 960 on a 750 watt PS? Or where I can find an answer. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The 9xx series is much more energy efficient and low power draw than the 5xx, 6xx or 7xx Geforce line 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Reputable Contributor digman Posted January 20, 2016 Reputable Contributor Report Share Posted January 20, 2016 (edited) Yepper AbnRanger is spot on... Look at the bottom of the page for the recommended power supply... I would get the 4 gig of video ram version and not the 2 gig version http://www.geforce.com/hardware/desktop-gpus/geforce-gtx-960/specifications Edited January 20, 2016 by digman 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Contributor ajz3d Posted January 21, 2016 Contributor Report Share Posted January 21, 2016 750W PSU should leave you with a healthy amount of power reserve. That is if the PSU is not of "no name" brand. I have a 750W PSU myself and my GTX 660 Ti 3GB is said to consume 30W more power (at full load) than a stock GTX 960 card. So I think you should have no problem, Tony. Most definitely buy the 4GB VRAM version!!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Contributor Tony Nemo Posted January 21, 2016 Author Contributor Report Share Posted January 21, 2016 Thanks all for the reassurance. It was a 4 GB on offer for $229 from Newegg on Ebay. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Contributor ajz3d Posted January 21, 2016 Contributor Report Share Posted January 21, 2016 Huh? It's that cheap now!? Hell, I might consider buying one myself! Tony, can I steal your thread for a moment and ask a question whether a 750W (Gold) PSU could handle two cards: a GTX 660 and a GTX 960?

Contributor ajz3d Posted January 21, 2016 Contributor Report Share Posted January 21, 2016 (edited) Hm, 4GB 970 cards are a lot more expensive. Is the price difference justified by their performance? Edited January 21, 2016 by ajz3d Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Advanced Member Grimm Posted January 21, 2016 Advanced Member Report Share Posted January 21, 2016 A little late but I'm also using a 750 Watt power supply with a GTX460 and a GTX980, so you should be fine. And that 460 is not power efficient. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

A 970 is much more powerful than a 960 and is supposed to be the best bang for the buck. Although the last 1/2 Gbyte of memory is slower than the rest, that made a lot of people a bit grumpy to say the least. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Is the price difference justified by their performance? The 970 is practically a 980 except for few CUDA cores, Even still, it is about $200 cheaper than the 980 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Reputable Contributor AbnRanger Posted January 21, 2016 Reputable Contributor Report Share Posted January 21, 2016 It's a good price compromise between a budget card and the high-end 980...especially when you consider it practically IS a 980 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
